They, like Congress and the Republicans, had previously supported such a recognition. When they retreated from that position, they made a strong statement. <br /><br />It was not merely a case of benign inaction.

Especially when a car is going 60+ MPH. There have been more than a dozen Israeli&#39;s (not soldiers, as if THAT makes a difference to these terrorist protestors) who were killed &quot;just&quot; by rocke being thrown at their cars, and many more maimed for life. You want to protest? Ask the politicians who voted in your terrorist leaders to sit down and talk peace, not to mention erase the murder of Jews all over the world from their Constitution of principles, the Hamas as well as the PA.jjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770758896397875691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906205856510467947.post-22474370614396330572019-09-05T03:47:08.147+03:002019-09-05T03:47:08.147+03:00Dov, perhaps you forgot that one of the last thing...Dov, perhaps you forgot that one of the last things Obama did was abstain from a UN vote which resulted in giving Palestinians certain concessions under the UN that should have been negotiated between Israel and the Palestinians.<br /><br />But by Leftist lunacy, I meant health care plans that would cost trillions of dollars that we don&#39;t have, force the taxpayer to pay for welfare and medical care for illegal aliens, virtual open borders, higher taxes that kill jobs, etc. <br /><br />And just who was it who gave us laws that require us to allow men in women&#39;s bathrooms and locker rooms?

The point was valid, and did nothing at all to diminish the Holocaust, as if such were even possible. This gotcha game called &quot;Godwin&#39;s Law&quot;, which holds - as a way of ducking actual debate - that it is automatically forbidden to use Hitler or the Holocaust as a metaphoric point of comparison to anything, is stupid and should not be encouraged.

To Anthony: The care taken to avoid civilian casualties must also be looked at with in light of the fact that the Palestinians embed their &quot;fighters&quot; among civilians using them as shields. Israeli fighters face a great dilemma under those circumstances and it is well documented that Israel has avoided fighting back when civilians are used shields by Palestinian terrorists. Colonel Richard Kemp who has filled a variety of military posts including the UN has stated that Israel&#39;s IDF is the most moral fighting force in the world, especially given the tactics of their enemies.<br />2. To zdub: Please document your claim of how many rock throwers were killed by Israeli soldiers, especially those that were out of the range of their targets. I only ask because this is a strong claim that should be backed by evidence. Rock throwers can and do severely hurt and kill Israelis though and that has been documented. Also said rock throwers are often kids who are embedded with adults with guns. That is easily seen in film taken near the border wall.
